Gluten Free Shortbread
These gluten free shortbread cookies are made with just one gluten-free flour - oat flour - for flavor and ease of prep. They are drizzled with a little melted chocolate to create cookie perfection!
Ingredients
- 1 ¼ cups gluten-free oat flour or sorghum flour , 140 grams
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ cup unsalted butter , at room temperature, cut into 1-inch pieces
- 1 tablespoon whole milk
- 1 ounce chopped bittersweet chocolate
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oat flour, powdered sugar, and salt.
- Using a handheld or in a stand mixer, add in the butter one piece at a time and mix until the dough starts to form a ball. At this point, you may need to add the milk - start with one teaspoon at a time and add more at a time if needed. The dough should form a ball.
- Place dough on a work surface lightly floured with oat flour and form into a disc. Wrap in plastic and place in the fridge for at least ½ hour, preferably overnight.
- Heat oven to 350° F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Remove dough from fridge and place on a work surface lightly floured with oat flour. You may need to let it warm up a bit. Roll out into a sheet that is ¼-inch thick. Using cookie cutters, cut out cookies and gently place on the prepared sheets.
- Place in the oven, and, baking one sheet at a time, bake for 13-15 minutes, until the edges begin to brown.
- Remove from oven and place pan on a rack to cool briefly, then place cookies on the rack to cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave if using. Drizzle over cooled cookies.
